Quote

Rhetoric completes the tools of learning. Dialectic zeros in on the logic of things, of particular systems of thought or subjects. Rhetoric takes the next grand step and brings all these subjects together into one whole.

Image
He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God.
William Blake
Image
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
Image
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh And thy maker is not by Think not thou canst weep a tear And thy maker is not near.
William Blake
Image
Let the men do their duty & the women will be such wonders the female life lives from the light of the male: see a man's female dependants, you know the man.
William Blake
Image
Silent as despairing love, and strong as jealousy.
William Blake
Image
Life delights in life.

Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
William Blake
Image
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
William Blake
Image
I was in a Printing-house in Hell, and saw the method in which knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.
William Blake
Image
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
Image
What has reason to do with the art of painting?
William Blake
Image
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
Image
Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
Image
You throw the sand against the wind and the wind blows it back again.
William Blake
Image
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
Image
First thought is best in Art, second in other matters.
William Blake
Image
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
Image
I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
William Blake
Image
Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put.
William Blake
Image
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed or governed their passions, but because they have cultivate their understandings.
